Instagram UX is worse with every update. Social media is opt-in, I’m considering opting out of Instagram.

I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't...

The loss of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) in the PA budget - a program that charges power plants for how much carbon they emit into the air - is a huge loss for air quality and the climate campaign. @PennFuture www.pennfuture.org/N...
The Pennsylvania Budget�is a Betrayal of the Environment
Pennsylvania legislators approve a state budget that abandons the most effective carbon pollution reduction program.

POND WATER (a text from my mum, that I have turned into a poem)
Bridget was round my neck
All night
I thought
It was affection
But I see from the weather
That she was just
Sucking the warmth from me
She smelled
Just like pond water
We have the plumber
Coming
To fit a new shower
Bridget was round my neck
